Classification
by Keyword

The following terms were used originally to search
for articles in the source databases. Each literature
term has its own set of search terms. The web version
will blend all of these terms in the "keyword"
field. They will be modified somewhat, and screened
for redundancy in the final version that will be sent
to the web. This current list can be used for deciding
how users might do keyword delimited searches. The terms
are listed below with their literature categories.
